Gaia Servadio (born 1938) is an Italian writer.

Servadio was born in Padua, of Jewish and Sicilian ancestry. She received a bachelor's degree from London's Camberwell School of Art.

Her first novel Tanto gentile e tanto onesta, aka Melinda, was published in 1967 by Feltrinelli in Italy and Weidenfeld & Nicolson in the UK, and was a "a runaway success".

Servadio married the British art historian William Mostyn-Owen, and they had three children, Owen, Allegra and Orlando. In 1968, they were living in "23 rooms or so" of one wing of Aberuchill Castle, Perthshire, Scotland. Their daughter Allegra was the first wife of the politician Boris Johnson.

Servadio lives in Belgravia, London.
